Grade: B+
If you’re the weirdly obsessive sort of “Futurama” fan that has always wanted Leela to release an album of soulful covers, then there’s no better purchase for you than the “Futurama” actress’s “Covered.” The 10-track album covers classics that inspired Katey Sagal in her music career, which has been on hold for the past nine years (though her music is often featured on FX’s “Sons of Anarchy,” in which she stars). As well as lesser-known songs, she croons her rendition of Tom Petty’s “Free Fallin’” and Joni Mitchell’s “For Free.” The first album of Sagal’s without original material comes off as a little self-indulgent, but her signature, powerful rasp sells it. Imagine whoever you want while listening: mutant Leela, power-wigged Peg Bundy or just Sagal as she was in the ’70s, back-up singing for the likes of Bob Dylan and Bette Midler. It all works.
